I work with small businesses helping them with handhelds and CRM. All my small businesses are using hosted exchange server for mail. Some use Blackberries, others iPhones, a tiny portion Windows Mobile and now I'm "dog-fooding" Android so I can find out what works. Believe it or not, only about 5% of my customers use Outlook tasks. Most rely on the calendar for task management. I myself do use tasks so I'm trialing Remember the Milk and syncing to it from Outlook using Gassumo Outlook to Remember the Milk sync. That's working quite well.

I've found that the contacts and calendar sync have some quirks that I'm coming to grips with - it seems sometimes to use File As, other times not to so sometimes the names are backwards. The calendar has been OK

I'm hoping PocketInformant for Android gets finished soon. They are beta testing now. I've been using it on Windows Mobile for years. It's very polished, those guys know how to build a handheld PIM.

Exchange is a great way to do OTA sync. You put the contact in Outlook and it's on your phone, same with calendar.

I'm a big OneNote user on the desktop, on Windows Mobile I used it only for a single purpose - to label photos I took of equipment I deploy. I would type the client, location, purpose and then take photos of the asset tags, serial numbers etc. To get them onto the desktop I had to USB sync but this system is very handy, if I needed to call Dell about a machine I have the asset tags right at hand. I'm looking at Evernote to take over that duty. I don't really care if it lives on OneNote, I just need to be able to annotate photos and get at them quickly during support calls.

I bought a 3 pack of screen protectors from clearscreens for only 1.30. I knew they were cheap and all, but these protectors were HORRIFIC. They were a bit too big for the phone so I found them having a lot of bubbles and always moving. They had SCRATCHES, yes scratches, on the back itself so my phone looks uneven. I applied these in my bathroom after running hot water and cleaned so there was no dust, just a heads up. DONT BUY FROM clearscreens

And yes I understand its only a dollar, but still, a bad item is a bad item
[Captivate Accessories] systoxity:
man, thanks for the heads up. I bought a universal screen protection kit in the att store today (ya know the ones you can cut out and make urself). I was afraid when i read this that those are the ones you were talking about.

If you get the 3 pack from the att store that is universal, put the screen on your phone without pealing off any coats on it and draw the outline of what you want to cover and then cut it out. Its really simple because the cover on the screen protector has a grid printed on it. Stick it on in a humid bathroom (not too humid, just enough so that you feel the humidity) and get the bubbles out. Some of the edges might not stick down right away, take ur phone out to your room and let it sit. Press the edges down whenever you remember and eventually they will stick.

Ps when you cut the screen protector to size always round off any corners so they dont catch in your pocket.
[Captivate Accessories] Panduh:
Ok thanks :)

Also, the protector was cut and it seemed like it would fit, but it just was a tad big so there would be bubbles. I won't lie, I went through all three and this one just looks horrible, but I am keeping it on just so my screen doesn't get scratched until I buy a new one
[Captivate Accessories] systoxity:
if you still have the original no texting and driving screen protector it came with, you can use acetone to remove the text on it and then reapply it to your screen. Ya know just as an alternative :P
[Captivate Accessories] DirtyRasa:
Wish i could use it, but the ATT rep tore it off right away
[Captivate Accessories] systoxity:
that bastard. That stock screen protector is one of the better ones that people will ever have lol.
[Captivate Accessories] Panduh:
Yah, but my rep saw a dust particle so he wiped it off with his FINGER. When I got it there were smudges already
[Captivate Accessories] systoxity:
shoulda asked for a replacement :P rofl.
[Captivate Accessories] madjsp:
I am waiting for my screen protector from AT&T. I generally buy Zagg but it seems to be too sticky for me lately. I'm going to try this one out for a while.
[Captivate Accessories] cellgeek:
I have the AT&T protectors on my Captivate. They work fine, but really show the smudges. Constantly wiping it down because it looks tacky. They aren't "no-glare" so you do get some reflection, and they don't seem to affect the screen sensitivity too much. I still type the wrong stuff inadvertently. . . .
[Captivate Accessories] Ryukeima:
Agreed, I did the same thing you did, wish you had posted this before I bought mine :P They suck. A lot.
[Captivate Accessories] polarbee:
I also bought a pack before reading your post. They just arrived today and I thought I'd give them a try anyway. Looks horrid and feels worse. Nasty. At least I didn't waste too much money. :)
[Droid Incredible General] beesy:
Well I just got off the phone with the verizon tech and he says, google just finished and released the 2.2 update for incredible last week, the problem is that it has to be tested, so this means we will not see it until late August or early September. :eek:

After talking to the tech I came across this.......

HTC DROID Incredible to be updated to Froyo end of July, early August

by Andrew Munchbach on July 19th, 2010 at 12:50pm

Filed under: AT&T, Android, BlackBerry, Exclusives, GSM, HTC, Mobile, Software, Verizon 111 Comments

We just received a juicy tip about the HTC DROID Incredible software update schedule that we’d like to share. One of our strategically placed Ninjas was kind enough to pass along an email from HTC that read as follows:

I wanted to pass along that the upcoming Incredible MR will also include Froyo (originally it was going to be two separate MRs).

We are targeting the end of the month/first part of August. As a reminder, below are the highlights:

■Froyo

■802.11 n

■3G Mobile Hot Spot

■HTC Widget: Email

■HTC Widget: News

■EAS Updates

■720p Video Recording

■Amazon MP3

■Skype

■My Verizon

Obviously, the news here is that the Incredible update that began rolling out this weekend will — in all likelihood — be halted, and a sexier, Froyo-inclusive update will be pushed out in the coming weeks. The update will also include 802.11n Wi-Fi support, 3G Mobile Hot Spot, 720p video recording, and more. Not bad news for Incredible owners. What do you think? Is Android 2.2 worth an extra few weeks of waiting?
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
VZW techs are morons. HTC releases it, not Google.

For that reason, don't believe what you heard.
[Droid Incredible General] Reddog80p:
Seriously...A random Verizon tech is hardly a credible source..
[Droid Incredible General] fortesquieu:

http://www.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-incredible-froyo-all-but-confirmed
[Droid Incredible General] JaydenR:
Completely agree
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
Tech Blogs feed each other. One rumor starts at one end, and makes it all the way to the other. They are just regurgitating what BGR said. BGR has also admitted that the VZW twitter message did not come from VZW sanctioned employees. Its just a matter of time till we see this popup on Engadget and Gizmodo, if it hasn't already.
[Droid Incredible General] mahkee:
Man there is an 'Incredible' amount of drama surrounding this phone for some reason. lol
[Droid Incredible General] oxidant11:
Hey were not all morons just most our because they aren't into the rooting or advanced stages of Android there just stupid, but yeah I do work for Verizon in the store and we have heard nothing about a 2.2 update, but most likely, just like everything else you and me will probably find out it before Verizon employees do because we pay attention to leaks and such and they don't, and Verizon doesn't tell employees anything until like a week or less before it releases.
[Droid Incredible General] mahkee:
Lol! I know a few reps here in Cincy who know what they are talking about with regards to rooting and such. You are right though, some of the people I have interacted with, barely know the hardware they are selling.
[Droid Incredible General] NickkxNekro:
Lol. My friend and his female acquaintance were getting Moto Droids thanks to the BOGO free offer. While one guy went in the back to do "paperwork", I ran behind the counter, started fumbling with the computer and was asking with people if they needed help with setting up anything. Gave my friend my incredible to take a picture of me while I was back there, and then I showed it to the employee. He kept looking around the area the picture had in the background and concluded that my "office looks just like his".

Can't post the picture because I'm a "new user", but I'm wearing my stylish 3d glasses I got from Toy Story 3 / 3d.

Also told him that Buzz died, and he said that he can't take his wife now because she'll cry too much.
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
You sir are a terrible person. I was really looking forward to seeing that movie. Thanks for ruining it for me...
[Droid Incredible General] todd3835:
I just got off the phone with a verizon wireless store rep, asking about the new car mount. After chatting about my new phone, he started telling me he got an email TODAY stating exactly what this says, this email came DIRECTLY from VERIZON. He stated his email clearly said the release for FROYO with all the mentioned features in this post was coming end of july / early august. AGAIN, THIS COMES DIRECTLY FROM VERIZON! Hope this helps the debate a little bit. I wasn't fishing for this information, the guy just happened to mention it.
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
Actual email, or its just an unsubstantiated rumor.
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
He didn't ruin it for you, in a way this might ruin it for you but that's false info.

On another note, why do we have like three (now only two but used to have three) threads for the same OTA with the same information on each? Does anybody look at the forum before posting at all?
[Droid Incredible General] colonel187:
OMG, i was grumpy cuz my battery won't last. but this story made my day. Thank you SIR I cannot stop laughing.

For both of you, here (i think i have enough posts now?):

Obviously that kid didn't get the joke. Lawl.

Yeah. It's not even a matter of using the search button, it's just looking at the front page. Apparently, that's too much for people.

Kurt-Willems is 100% correct, Dunnboy. I made this mod myself and have never posted the cab out of respect for Dinik's rules.

Please see also your other post on the same subject in my clocks thread for a fuller answer.

Btw... Before someone else points it out (in less friendly terms...), you should try to avoid asking the same question in more than one post. The moderators (and some other members) can get a bit grumpy with you if you do...
[Vibrant General] landale:
Has anyone figured out a way to sync music playlists to the Vibrant that can be read by the Samsung music player? 3rd party apps like MixZing and Doubletwist see them but the built in music player does. Wonder if I am doing something wrong. Also would love any suggestions on good 3rd party music players if there might be one better then these options.

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Omega Ra:
One app I would like to see when WP7 comes out is a good, functional, yet nice looking IP calculator. This is the one that I use for my class, but it isn't for WM nor (obviously) for WP7. http://www.radmin.com/products/utilities/ipcalculator.php

I have tried getting someone to port the iPhone version http://www.addressplus.net/iphone/ipcalc/ because it looks pretty, but have gotten no responses either here or over at modaco. If someone could make a great ip calculator for WP7 then you would definitely have at least one buyer when WP7 comes out lol. (a WM 6.5.5 version to tide me over would be great too lol)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] abledanger:
Subnet Calculator

I figured I'd give this a shot. Here's a few screenshots of what I've got so far:

It's all working pretty well at the moment. Clicking any of the buttons will bring up a popup list of the values to select from and you can drag the sliders to adjust the settings as well.

I'm thinking of setting it up so when you swipe the screen left/right it will go to the previous/next subnet and maybe adding a main page where you can select from a class/classless calculator.

If I have sometime later tonight I'll try to make a video of it running in the emulator.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Windcape:
Not bad, the idea is there. I think you need some more spacing between elements to make it proper touch friendly, but looks like we got a handy app for sys-admins here!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] abledanger:
Yeah. There's definitely not much room for fat fingers on there right now :-( I think the lists could use a little more padding between the values, and maybe there could be a little more space between the buttons and the Subnet Bits slider. It's difficult to tell what's too close for sure without playing with it on an actual device, but I should probably take another look at the design guidelines (I remember reading something about the recommended minimum spacing between elements).

Anyways, here's a quick video of it in action. The emulator runs kinda crappy on my laptop because I don't have hardware assisted virtualization, so I apologize if anything looks choppy (could just be my amateur code too, hehe).

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] cyclical:
Nice work man.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Omega Ra:
That is totally awesome! I am glad someone decided to give it a go, now I really can't wait for WP7 :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Omega Ra:
Any progress on this?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] abledanger:
Yup. I added the main page where you can select the type of calculator. Right now I'm pulling out the code that can be shared between the two calculators into a separate class.

I rearranged the way you select the subnet class and enter the IP address as well. The class selection is now a button with a popup menu like the Subnet Mask, etc, and the IP address is now a single textbox as opposed to the 4 separate textboxes.

I'll post an updated video once I have everything working again.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Omega Ra:
awesome. This is going to be a huge help to us net-admins. Doing subnetting is annoying as hell without the calculator lol
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Omega Ra:
any updated video or screens?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] abledanger:
Yup. Here's a quick screenshot of what it's looking like now. Now that the official pivot controls are out, I'm toying with the idea of making the calculator mode selection a pivot...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Omega Ra:
looking good :) can't wait, sadly I have to wait until verizon gets WP7, but when It does (hopefully when the LTE 4G is active) then I will definitely be getting this app :). One thing I might put, instead of Classed and Classless, I would put Classful and Classless. I was taught that it was refered to as classful when all the subnets have the same mask. Other than that, looks awesome!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] abledanger:
Haha, showing my ignorance I suppose :'( names fixed
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Omega Ra:
cool :) that is awesome. Thanks again for doing this.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] enak:
Looks great but could do with adding slash notation for subnets
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] abledanger:
That's what the Mask Bits slider is for :-)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] majido:
Hi,

This looks awsome. I can't wait to start using it.

can you tell us when its going to be released?

Is it gonna work on HTC HD2 ( Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro)?

The Screen resolution is: 800x480

Thanks,
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] abledanger:
Thanks :-)

I suppose I need to register for MarketPlace first, and then it would be available at the release of WP7.

In regards to WM6.5...I'd need to rewrite the application since WP7 development is a different beast. I'll look into the amount of work that would be required to port it, and if it's not too bad, I'll release it in the WM Development thread as well.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Omega Ra:
awesome. Be sure to let us know if you do release it for wm6.5. I could then use it until verizon gets a wp7 :)

edit: did a really crappy and fast paint of a screen shot to show you what I mean.

if you've flashed the newest radio and wimax, you should be able to get 4g connection, since it's already available in MERCED, CA.

Cypress connects at full strength, but then disconnects quickly.

One speed test I was able to pull off was 5.2mb down and 1.1 up.
[EVO 4G General] thisguyinoc:
I drove through Cypress and found the 4G, but my EVO wouldn't connect. It just sticks at "Obtaining IP Address from Sprint". I called Sprint to ask what gives, and they said since Cypress isn't listed as a 4G site, they can't help me out.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
That sounds like you have another problem with your phone.

I can connect NP, but then get booted off. 2 other people in my office can connect.

There was an issue with the 4g being stuck on scanning. Make sure your phone is updated. If you are rooted, read more.
[EVO 4G General] thisguyinoc:
Not rooted, just running stock.
[EVO 4G General] bobdude5:
cypress and fullerton are you guys being serious?
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Cypress has been testing 4g for about 2 weeks. The connection comes and goes, but when it is up, it is very fast.

It seems like they have some bot on the tower that automatically disconnects every 20-30 seconds or so.
[EVO 4G General] pinkxpinkii:
I'm running cm so I can't test anymore. Areas along the 91 from knott to sunkist got great 4g. And strong signal in nearby areas. I pulled 9+mbps at one point at cypress

i've paired a few things (bt headset, parrot car hands free, computer) but it won't automatically connect to anything. i have to manually tell it to connect. is there a setting that i'm overlooking, or a tweak to allow this?

thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wgarrido:
Yeah I noticed the same thing in the car today. Maybe because of whether it is discoverable or not? When you turn that on it only does 120secs. I haven't played with it, but i sure hope it can auto connect, or at least with froyo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobbbbit:
It auto-connects to my car, but not to my home phone. I think that's because the car itself initializes the connection... Would be nice to figure out how to fix this, so I wouldn't have to connect manually every time I come home.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsharma714:
In my 10' BMW, I had to check mark to always allow the car to access my contacts. Once I did that, it would automatically connect to my car upon startup of the car.

Hope that helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbl7979:
in my '10 Genesis Coupe, I cannot get it to auto connect, even though i reset it two times and checked "always allow." This is the first phone this has ever happened with, every other one auto connected (HTC Touch Pro2 with winmo 6.5 AND a hacked android 2.0, htc hero w/ 2.0 and 2.1, n1 w/ 2.1 and 2.2, and a feature samsung phone) so I know its not the car.

Any more ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobbbbit:
What I figured out is that auto-connect on this phone just doesn't seem to work at all. The only time it auto-connects is to my 06 Acura when I start it and only if it's not already connected to anything else. But that's because when I start my car, it's the car that initiates a connection, not the phone. If I'm connected to something else (like my home phone, for example), when I start my car, and drive off, Bluetooth connection to my home phone will get dropped after I get away for more than 100 feet, but it will never connect to my car after that. And it never connects to my home phone on it's own. Very painful!:-(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newend:
My Captivate will automatically connect to my Parrot hands free device when I get into the car. I don't know which device is pushing the connection. However, I also have a Miccus BluBridge Receiver in my car plugged into the Aux jack. This device doesn't auto connect.

To get things working I have to go to the home screen, settings, wireless, blue tooth, then click on the device. A friend of mine was talking about Tasker as a possible app to use, but I don't really want to spend the money on it until I know it will do what I want. The other annoyance I have is that speaker, headset, and bluetooth volume are all the same. It looked like Tasker would solve my second problem, but perhaps not my first. Has anyone else investigated this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phredeee:
Bluetooth auto connect

I too thought I had an issue with this. Mine is now working OK most of the time. One thing I discovered is that if there is more than one BT device available the phone sometimes will not connect automatically.

I wonder if this has to do with the fact that it will not connect to more than one device at a time. This is big downside for me that I hope get corrected (but please GPS first)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thumper_1151:
It won't conect correctly because there is no setting for always visible. The handsfree device searches for your phone to initiate the conection and if it can't see it it won't try to conect.
